What Drives Invoicing Currency Choices

- Abstract (Swedish)
- This paper examines the effects of key macroeconomic and trade variables on invoicing currency patterns. Departing from common model assumptions of complete local currency pricing or partner country pricing, the existing analytical and empirical literature suggests a range of macroeconomic and strategic determinants of internationally trading actors’ currency usage. Using panel data on trade invoicing currency spanning 24 countries from 2010 to 2016, I examine the effects of key economic variables on export invoicing currency choices on a country level. My main analysis consists of linear panel regressions with subsequent coefficient tests, where yearly country-level data on euro, dollar, and home currency invoicing shares is used along... (More)
- This paper examines the effects of key macroeconomic and trade variables on invoicing currency patterns. Departing from common model assumptions of complete local currency pricing or partner country pricing, the existing analytical and empirical literature suggests a range of macroeconomic and strategic determinants of internationally trading actors’ currency usage. Using panel data on trade invoicing currency spanning 24 countries from 2010 to 2016, I examine the effects of key economic variables on export invoicing currency choices on a country level. My main analysis consists of linear panel regressions with subsequent coefficient tests, where yearly country-level data on euro, dollar, and home currency invoicing shares is used along with data on inflation, economy size, trade openness, and US as well as euro area prominence as trade partners. I find evidence that higher inflation is associated with less home currency invoicing and more US dollar invoicing; that higher trade openness is associated with less home currency invoicing and more invoicing in the US dollar and the euro; and that the US and the euro area’s prominence as export destinations positively affects invoicing shares in their respective currencies.
